perh. read °vāra-ka, but even this does not seem closely paralleled in the required mg.: Śuddhodanena rājakumārasya ṣaḍvālako (no v.l.) nāma dvāro kārāpito pañcapuruṣaśatehi apāvurīyati Mv 〔ii.157.19〕
tena (sc. yakṣeṇa) °ka-dvāram (here by em.
mss. paṭṭālakadvāram, or only ṣa-dvāram!) apāvṛtaṃ, ghoṣaṃ ca nigṛhītaṃ 〔161.3〕.
